"Those Old Scientists".
Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Henry Alonso Meyers was co-showrunner of The Magicians (a fantastic show) and they did one musical episode per season as the show went on.
I get the feeling that will be the crossover episode since time travel can occur across subspace in Trek and "rhapsody" can also refer to highly volative and expressive emotions, which I'd imagine anyone traveling across about 125 years of history in one direction or the other would experience.

The crossover episode is clearly Those Old Scientists, since in Season 1 of LDS there was a joke where Ransom referred to the TOS era, and explained it was short for "those old scientists" - a term he used to describe the era Kirk was active in Starfleet.
I just noticed that. Thanks for clarifying.
I wonder if #10 is a reference to the Gorn...
thanks for sharing. Dang, I would hoping for the LD crossover to air earlier, it's the one in looking forward to most. But I should be grateful since I like a lot of things about this show. I can't wait to see what this season brings. Hopefully, Bruce as Hemmer in some capacity
Hi peeps!
Extremely late to this party, buuuut I’ve just started watching SNWs and am x3 episodes in and loving it!
Would have done this sooner, but now with it on a free-to-air streaming service here in New Zealand, I’m playing ketchup!

SNW S3 is going to be delayed due to the WGA writer's strike (the Canadian Writer's Guild has just ordered its members to halt work on U.S. shows):

It's already filming, which likely means they're written all the scripts. The writers being on strike doesn't prevent completed scripts from being filmed.
The question is, are they all 100% or were they expecting to have time to tweak the ones at the end, and how much tweaking do they usually do on set?
They may have a shortened season (that's one of the issues in this strike -- the streamers' propensity for shortened seasons).
Fewer episodes = less money for the writers.
It's never going to be like the 1970's and 1980's (22-26 episodes a season, no Internet/streaming, three major broadcast networks).
IIRC, this happened when NuBSG was on the air. Yes, scripts were already written, but the acting, filming and directing crews paused work "in solidarity" with the writers, impacting all aspects of production. I suspect this will be the case for most shows currently being built.
The Screen Actors Guild has to continue working (they have a "no strike" clause in their contracts):

I stand corrected - thank you for the clarification!
Although if the filming crews are holding a sympathetic "sick out" as it were, in support of the writer crews, wouldn't it be pointless for the actors to be hanging around in an otherwise empty studio? Doesn't it simply mean they can't initiate and organize a strike?
I wonder if these "no strike" predicates came about as a result of the previous strike, to ensure that productions continued uninterrupted.
I dunno. I'm probably just talking out of my ass. I'm a coder. We're not allowed to have unions.
It could still affect filming since no re-writes can occur, including on-set re-writes or post-production re-writes.
Also, it's my understanding that SAG's and the DGA's contracts are coming up for renewal soon. If the WGA strike hasn't happened been resolved by then, we could see them go on strike too.
So we all know Trek licensed material isn't considered canon but does it still legally belong to CBS? So for example if I were a greedy CBS executive during the writers strike right now and my latest plot to generate Trek scripts using ChatGPT resulted in gibberish, could I grab the Early Voyages comic book (a 90s comic book featuring Pike's adventures that was actually pretty good), copy and paste those into new scripts to carry the show for another season or more, and get away with it? Or rip off James Cawleys old New Voyages show?
